"My maternal aunt"

Translation: Shimá yazhí

[Sarah_jagurz]

"my" is "shi", right? Why is "shi shima yazhi" not accepted as a proper translation?

[KelseyLee856978]

because it is being repetitive, saying "shi shima" is saying "my my mom", if you want to break it down "ma" means "mother" "shima" means "my mother"
